About Bob

Meet Bob! Bob is an adorable 7-year-old Chihuahua mix with a big personality in a tiny body. Rescued from a euthanasia list in California, he deserves this second chance at life. Initially shy and unsure of his surroundings, Bob has blossomed remarkably since arriving at The Asher House. While he’s gained confidence, he still needs a patient family who can give him the time to adapt. Once he's comfortable, you'll discover his playful side! This little troublemaker adds joy to our days, often keeping staff entertained with his antics. Although he enjoys the company of other dogs, he's not fond of rowdy play. Bob prefers calm, respectful canine companions who understand the value of personal space. Bob's ideal home is one with kids aged 12 and older who can respect his boundaries. His compatibility with cats is still unknown, so a careful introduction would be wise. A loving, predictable environment would help Bob continue to build his confidence. At 7 years old, he may have a bit of history, but he’s proving that it’s never too late to enjoy life. If you’re searching for a tiny companion with a big personality and a touch of mischief, Bob might be your perfect match! Bob's adoption fee is $295, and he is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
